Grilled Halloumi and Kale Salad
This salad is perfect for your next barbecue, pairing well with grilled meats and vegetables; and it can be made only a few hours in advance!
We recommend massaging the kale well, by crumpling the leaves in your hands. This softens the leaves and helps the vinaigrette soak into the fibres of the leaves, which will make your salad even more delicious!
